Negotiations over the Sept. 10 spectacle have hit an impasse over whether to leave the microphones on.

    I’m with you completely. Trump was shouting over Hillary constantly in those debates and “making a fool out of himself”, and in the end those debates were at best a tie but most likely a Trump win.

    You can cite her courtroom experience all you want but I don’t think Harris beats Trump in a shouting match, so letting him interrupt her at will is absolutely a disadvantage.

      Yep.

      Let trump ramble his nonsense, and Harris can just say:

      That’s nonsense, now let me talk about how I’m gonna help Americans.

      For someone like trump, being dismissed like that is the absolute worse thing. Everytime they let him talk he’d get more and more unhinged, and Kamala could just stay calm and stay on message. Hell, she could even throw in a couple “you need to calm down” or “why are you yelling”, that shit that sounds like you’re de-escalating but everyone knows it’s just gonna wind the other person up more.

      If there’s open mics, trump will constantly jump in and all Kamala will get to is:

      That’s nonsense

      And they’ll just go back and forth.

      It’s exactly what trump voters want to see, and it’s probably trump’s favorite way to spend an evening.
